Benjamin loves to be outside. And his favorite activity is riding his bike. He is fearless. He made it a goal this year to ride a big kid bike, and he basically taught himself. This is a simple post, to remember this sweet time.

First Lost Tooth
Ben lost his first tooth! Ben had quite the evolution from when he discovered his tooth was loose, to when he lost it! Last week, when it started to get wiggly, he was not okay with it. He did not want any fooling around with it. But then, a couple nights later, I was helping …
